AND CURTAIN-POLE SULPBO'RT.

Application. filed December 4 ,1919; Serial N10) 342333.8-

1 of Ohio, have invented new and useful Im- I provements in Shade. and Curtain-Pole Supports, of which the following is a specificati'on. I

This invention relates to improvements in window fixtures and has particular relation to a combined curtain pole and window shade support. a

The main object of the invention is to pro:- vide a strong, durable fixture which may be used to support a window shade and ourtain pole and which may be adjusted so that shades of varying widths may be used on the same window without removing the fixtures.

lVith the above and other objects in view, this invention consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing which forms a part hereof, wherein I have shown a preferred embodiment of the invention, it being understood that changes, variations and modifications may be resorted to which come within the scope of the matter hereinafter claimed.

In the drawings in which like numerals of reference are used to indicate corresponding parts in the several views,

Figure 1 is a front elevation of a shade mounted on a window by means of fixtures embodying this invention.

Figure 2 is a top view of one of said fixtures attached to a window casing and show ing by dotted lines a portion of the shade and curtain rod mounted thereon.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the said fixtures mounted on a window casing as shown in Figure 2. Figure 4 is a similar side elevation of a fixture embodying this invention showing adaptations of the invention and another method of attaching bores 7 and ,8, the bore 8 extending therethrough adjacent thev projecting end there:

of, is adapted to: receive a curtain rod 9 as shown the dotted lines. in Figure 2.. Slidably mounted in the bore: 7; is the: rod. 1.0- which is provided with ag l-ongitudinally ex tending row o-fclosely spaced boresll. The

the body 5 to the bore 7. Mounted in bore 13 is a pinl-i, the upwardly extending end of which is engaged by a lever-like clip 17 which. isfulcrumed onthe body 5- atil5. A spring. 16 is positioned between the free end of saidv clip: and the body 5- so'as to: norv mally force said pin '14 downwardly in the bore 13 and into one of the, bores11in: the rod 10. One end of the rod 10 is provided with a slot 12 adapted to hold the. squared supporting pin on oneend of the shaderolli ,1

er and the other end of said rod is provided with a bore 18 adapted to rotatably hold the other end of the shade roller. The body 5 is rigidly attached to the plate 19 which is provided with apertures adapted to receive screws or other fastening means, whereby the bracket may be attached to the woodwork on the window. In the adaptation of the invention shown in Figure 4, the body 5 is provided with apertures adapted to receive screws or other fastening means so that the fixtures may be mounted between the window casing.

In use the brackets are rigidly secured to the trim of the window as shown in Figure 1. The free end of the clip 17 is pressed down and the rod 10 is inserted in the bore 7. The rods 10 are moved longitudinally in the bore 7 to accommodate the width of the shades to be used, the slot 12 being presented to one end of the shade and the bore 18 to the other end thereof and the shade is mounted therein in the usual manner, the pin 14 being forced downwardly in one of the bores 11. The pin 14 will hold the said rods against rotation and longitudinal movement. It will thus be seen that the rods 10 may be moved longitudinally in the bore 7 so that shades of varying widths may be used without changing the position of the fixture.

If desired the member 10 may be made oval or square or of any desired shape.

The fixture may also be used to hang maps and similar articles mounted on rollers.

Having thus described my invention What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is o 1. In a Window fixture, a bracket comprising in combination, a body, means to non-rotatably attach said body to a Window casing, so the same Will project at a right angle thereto, said body being provided with two horizontal bores Which extend laterallytherethrough, one of said bores located near the free end thereof and adapted to receive a curtain rod, a cylindrical supporting pin slidably mounted in the other bore; means mounted directly on said body to hold said pin in said bore, said means also adapted to prevent a rotary movement of said pin, the said pin provided at one if end 'Wlth' meansto operatively support a shade roller substantially as herein described. u

' .2. A.WindoW fixture comprising in combination a body, means torigidly secure saidbody to a Window frame, a horizontal bore extending laterally through said body, a cylindrical member slidably mounted in said bore, said member being provided With a"plurali-ty of holes positioned therein in a v longitudinally extending row, a vertical bore extending from the upper face of said body to the first mentioned bore, a pin mounted in said vertical bore, said pin adapted to seat in any one of the plurality of holes in said member, means in the end .of said member to operatively support a Window shade roller, substantially as herein described. c

3. In a Window fixture, a pair of brackets,

each comprising in combination a body, provided at its'basewith a plurality of bores adapted to receive screws for rigidly securing the body to a Window easing, said body being provided With tWo horizontal bores Which extend laterally therethrough, one of said bores located near the free endthereof and adapted to receive a curtainrod, a'
